Unless you have a ton of free time, plenty of disposable income, and a spare liver resting in your trunk, you probably aren’t going to complete this road trip in one go. That said, if you did want to pull off the most epic brewtrip of all time, this is it. FlowingData used RateBeer’s “Top Brewers In The World” list to chart the drive that will take you to the best of the best in the USA in the least amount of miles. The drive takes you from the cold, empty fields around Hill Farmstead to the sunny streets leading to The Bruery. There are a few things we’d fix—visit Rogue in Oregon, not California; The Alchemist is still closed to the public; B. Nektar is really a meadery—but for the most part, it’s a pretty stellar trip. Maybe take it in chunks so your hangover isn’t quite so record-setting.
